![]() The length difference between the two different-strand overlapping genes is less dramatic. Most of the same-strand overlapping gene pairs show at least a tenfold difference in length, much larger than the length difference between non-overlapping neighboring gene pairs. The majority of the same-strand overlaps are embedded forms, whereas most different-strand overlaps are not embedded and in the convergent transcription orientation. ResultsĪbout 10% of the genes under study are overlapping genes, the majority of which are different-strand overlaps. ![]() In this study we identified and characterized the overlapping genes in a set of 13,484 pairs of human-mouse orthologous genes. Increasing evidence suggests that overlapping genes are much more common in eukaryotic genomes than previously thought. ![]()
